         • An individual accidentally called 911 instead of 411 and they were embarrassed about it. A further accidental 911 occurred when an individual dropped their electronic device. Finally, a third resulted in a patrol to a residence where everyone appeared surprised that 911 was called. Remember folks we are obligated to investigate all 911 calls and we take them seriously.

         • A domestic assault resulted in one individual being charged and released on conditions. Those conditions always involve no contact with the victim. This is unfortunately a necessary condition and a valuable condition.

         • An individual was causing problems at a residence, however, departed before the arrival of the Police.

         • We had an utter threats file that started with comments on social media and then resulted in a verbal discussion. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, however, what goes out on social media often stays on social media and it is hard to take those comments back. It is challenging times right now for our country with blockades and barricades. If we spent more time communicating in a productive calm matter I surely hope we would be able to resolve matters before involving the Police.

         • An individual was driving down the highway and his vehicle caught fire. The Volunteer Fire Department attended, however, they could only put out the fire. It is amazing how flammable a vehicle is. There were no injuries and if I recall correctly only one tire survived. If you are ever near a vehicle fire, it is not the fuel tank exploding that should cause you concern. Steal belts from exploding tires. That is what I am always leery of.

         • An erratic driver was reported operating a vehicle without a licence plate. A patrol was made and the vehicle was located, however, not in an erratic manner. The licence plate was found to be on the back seat. The driver subsequently received a ticket for not having the licence plate attached, a warning for not being able to produce their licence and an inspection notice to get the licence plate attached.

         • A Member picked up a possible impaired driver who had to be brought to the hospital for a blood sample. Once we get the results back we are expecting to lay charges. The driver did receive a 72 hour suspension.

         • We continue to receive reports of individuals drinking and driving after work or after extracurricular events. We follow up on these reports and some times we find the individuals. Thus if you are one of these individuals you might want to stop. You never know who me call the RCMP.

         • If you are in a collision that requires a tow truck or there is extensive damage to the vehicle or property you are required by law to report it as soon as possible to the RCMP. Being everyone has a cell phone this should not take hours or a day. If you fail to report the collision we get suspicious and often lay a charge of failing to report a collision.
